biggest
What is the biggest carp you guys have caught in the past few years? I have never really tried for carp, but have caught a few while catfishing with worms. Anywhere between 5 to 20 pounds nothing too big.

I caught my biggest carp last summer while smallie fishing the Lower Niagara River. It was only 19# but, in that current, it seemed much bigger. Had to chase it cause it was going to spool me.

Depending on how fat or thin it was anywhere from 8 to 14 pounds. 10-12 would be the most likely weight. Must have been a heck of a fight on 2 lb test. There is a mulberry tree on the bank of a canal where I like to fish in the summer. Great fishing there, the carp, some quite large sit underneath it waiting for the fruit to fall. Just grab a few fruit and place one on your hook, toss it under the tree and wham... I have goofed off before and used 2 lb test to just to see if I could land some of the bigger ones. With a big enough spool, it can be done. In my opinion, carp fight better than most fish.
What ever floats your boat, just keep it on your side of the lake...

my reel capacity is 300 yds, pretty good for an ul reel. i have an old broken 10' now 7 1/2' noodle rod that helps land the larger fish. you definitly can't horse em in.

anzomcik, looks like that's a grass carp? Did you hook it or whack it with a bow?

I shot it with my bow. it is funny i was drifting it to a school of them and i got ready to shoot, and they spooked. This one parted from the group and came back in to the small bay. I didnt want to shoot this one because it looked smaller than the rest of the group, but i shot anyway. Needless to say it was larger than i thought and after it pulling me around the lake for a while i boated her. The scales are like 1 1/2 dia. It was really cool.
